I was a patient of Dr Elist for over 4 years and had the 2nd version of the penile implant and then the most recent version. I actually preferred the first implant as it was less noticeable when
Flaccid and
Erect. The implant was hard and when touched, there was no question that something was stuck in there. The latest version was to be softer with thinner edges but with that, came the fact that you could see and feel the implant when
Flaccid. And unfortunately, it was still very hard. The implant may look natural from a distance but when touched, there is no question that something was done to the penis. I had mild pain for 4 years and then decided to have it removed. The benefit was that since the implant had been in for long, it had stretched out my penis and I am now an
Inch longer that before. I believe that this implant should only be used for guys with micro-penis syndrome, who have no other alternatives. Guys with normal penises will regret getting this surgery because there is nothing natural feeling about you penis after the surgery. There is a reason that Dr. Elist does not have anyone on staff that has had the procedure for you to actually see and touch.
